Hello Paul,

is it forcing you to create an account or asking you to proceed simply using paypal as the processor of the transaction. Sometimes you need to click the correct payment type towards the bottom. We are working on this at present to try to make it easier for users.

That seems to be the case in some countries unfortunately. I have the same problem in Germany. I used to be able to just choose to pay via creditcard but that option is gone now.

Same here too (Germany). Yesterday I tried to purchase Accu Feel via credit card payment. Paypal forced me to create an account. No way to get around it. I don't think it is country specific. In some other stores which offer credit card payment via paypal I'm not forced to create an account.

Well, this time, for some reason, it was different for me. I purchased the P-51 Civ (outstanding bird btw) and I was able to do it without entering in a Paypal account.

Dear A2A guys

Some of my friends (all located in Switzerland) would love to buy the beautiful P-51D Military plane. But paying is an unsolvable problem because only PayPal is available and if we try to pay using PayPal we are forced to create a PayPal account. To make things even worse, PayPal requires the passport or ID card identification number of the person trying to create a PayPal account. Sorry but there is no way I or any of my friends will provide such information to PayPal because we simply do no trust PayPal!

Please provide some alternative way to pay for your beatful plane models!

Thanks a lot for your answer and have a good week
Geronimo

Hi,
I found myself in the same situation when I wanted to buy the new SWS T-37B Tweet from Simworks. When I saw that I cancelled the sale...

I'm sure many potential buyers do the same. Please, can you change the payment method. I suppose for you and for us it would be a win-win deal.

I know that you can still buy your products on other sites that don't have this problem. But I prefer to buy directly from you, like many.

Thank you,

Kind Regards,
Richard.

I was going to open a new topic about this, but it seems the option to pay by credit card has been requested before by quite a few people for a long time now, looking at other topics here. Sadly all of them ignored by A2A apparently. I have also filled a contact form at the main website, but did not receive any response for three days now. Not even a negative response. Is it really not possible or too inconvenient to let people pay by card?

In my case it's not even a choice to pay by credit card, it's a necessity. I live in Turkey and Paypal is just not available in Turkey. With or without account. We can't even create a Paypal account here, Turkey simply does not appear in the drop down list as a selectable country/region.

I really don't want to make this sound like a complaint, but other companies also have this mandatory Paypal thing and it's so frustrating to not be able to purchase products that I like, because of some political disagreement between Paypal and my country's stubborn government. I'm asking you please, is there no other way you can take my money :? ?

Hello,

we are going to look into it but this but its unfortunately not like simple pressing a button to change things. PayPal really is the easiest payment processor and the most popular used worldwide, no account is required for most people, you simply click pay by credit card and PayPal is used as the processor only.
